X RAY RIGHT ARM LAT

A LAT view for X-Ray of the right side arm (Right Arm LAT) is a way to diagnose what is happening with the arm by taking an x-ray of the bones and structures on either side of the arm. The term lateral means that the x-ray machine is placed on the side of the arm and shoots a horizontal beam of x-rays from one side of the arm to the other side of the arm. This horizontally shoots out an image of the bones and the joints in a profile that is between the hand and the shoulder on the right arm.

City Imaging uses the newer technology used with digital radiography to take the images which result in higher quality images allowing for the best possible diagnosis. Because there are two types of lateral views (the LAT - Anteroposterior view and the lateral view) they will be combined to give the physician the full picture of the arm and to determine if there are any fractures, dislocations, or bone abnormalities as well other musculoskeletal issues that may require a physician’s attention. The cost for the X Ray Right Arm LAT is approximately between INR 600 to INR 1200.
